HEARTBREAKING: The 38-year-old was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead

“It just came from nowhere”

"She brought her left leg and then her right leg over the balcony. By the time Mr Higginson got there she was hanging off the balcony.

"Mr Higginson said he didn't know what was going through her mind, it just came from nowhere. He and Denniel's father both had her arms and were trying to hold her."

The family holiday had been "fraught" and on the day of her death there had been tension within the group, cops said.

Brit police investigated her death in Athens after Mrs Higginson's parents filed a statement claiming her husband was "controlling" and had "driven her" to her death.

But after further investigations involving speaking to Greek police and the hotel manager, Brit cops ruled she had killed herself.

The hearing was told pathologist Charles Wilson recorded in a post-mortem examination conducted in the UK that Mrs Higginson had been drinking on the evening of her death that may have "affected her normal behaviour".

Acting Senior Coroner Joanne Kearsley said: "I am satisfied that she has taken her own life. I hope this verdict may give some closure to the family and I offer my condolences."

Mr Higginson attended the hearing but left without comment.
